This Is A Real Photo Of Mallard
God Blessed Me With Beautiful Fall
Pictures.
God uses Animals for his Glory.
A seemingly little prayer
blessed my heart in a really big way.
I have written many poems and songs about and because of Mallard.
God blessed me beyond just an
outstanding photo. God hears small prayers,
big prayers, and also feeble prayers.

My Prayer Pocket
While explaining the verse say:
David said, to God.
"Whenever I am afraid I will trust you."
God tells us in his Word to trust
in him when we are afraid.
When we trust God we are
having faith in God's
care for us.
Miriam's Important Job
Miriam had a very important thing to do.
Baby Moses's life was in danger.
A wicked King was out to throw all the little boy
babies of the Israelites into the Nile river.
Miriam's parents had to hide the baby Moses from the King's
men. They had to keep him quiet. They prayed for his life and his safety.
Miriam had to obey, she needed to help
keep baby Moses quiet. She could not wander off somewhere to play.
She could not do whatever she wanted to do. She had to follow her parent's instructions. Mose's life depended on her.
If she were stubborn it could have cost her brother's life. If she were careless
it would have been very sad.
Miriam was trusted, when children obey they earn trust.
They are called trustworthy. Her mother gave her a very important job.
They made a basket with a lid, that could float on water. They
hid Moses inside of it.
Miriam prayed and her parents prayed. Miriam was courageous and she followed her parent's instructions. She did not let fear stop her
from being part of saving her brother's life.
Miriam and her mother carried the basket to the edge of the Nile. Miriam put the basket into the water among the reeds.
The basket floated on the water and she followed the basket as it floated down the Nile River.
From a distance, she could see an Egyptian Princess and her maids bathing at the water's edge. She watched and prayed for her brother's safety. Will baby Moses be safe?
The Egyptian princess saw the basket by the bulrushes and found baby Moses
inside. She had compassion for him.
Miriam ran to the Egyptian princess and asked her if she needed a nurse for the child.
The Princess told Miriam to take the child and find the child a nurse.
Moses's mother was overjoyed and rejoiced to hold and to nurse her son. God provided and answered their prayers. They rejoiced together, not only did the Lord God keep Moses safe but his mother was paid to nurse him. When Moses was older he was raised by the Egyptian Princess and became a Prince of Egypt.
(A long-awaited prayer powerfully answered)
God used a young girl to answer a very important prayer.
Miriam did not know that one day her brother would be a great man of God.
An answered prayer to the Hebrew Children. God would free the Hebrew slaves.
Moses would grow up and be used by God to deliver the children
of Israel from the bondage of Egypt.
God shows himself powerful through answered prayer.

You could bring in a basket as a surprise to keep the baby doll hidden inside it.
Let them look inside the basket to see what is inside...

Biblical Account
Exodus 2:1-10
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.

Luke 10:30 - 37
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
